The bill amends R.S.33:1-10 to authorize direct shipping by craft distilleries in New Jersey, allowing them to ship up to nine liters of distilled spirits per year to individuals over 21 for personal consumption. It introduces new provisions for various types of licenses for breweries and wineries, including plenary, limited, restricted, farm, and wine blending licenses, each with specific regulations and fees. License holders can sell and distribute their products to wholesalers, retailers, and directly to consumers under certain conditions. Additionally, the bill allows for sampling and promotional activities at events and on premises, emphasizing compliance with state regulations.

Significantly, the bill removes existing prohibitions against the direct shipment of distilled spirits both within and outside the state, aligning New Jersey's regulations with those in Kentucky. It also mandates that a copy of the original invoice be available for inspection at the distillery's licensed premises for a minimum of three years. Furthermore, the bill permits retail sales of distilled spirits for consumption on or off the premises without the previous limitation of five liters per person, enhancing the operational flexibility of craft distilleries and promoting their products more effectively.
